"My Grandma's Old Sayings from A to Z and More" is a collection of over 800 old sayings and their meanings, that took the author five years to collect. Growing up in a small southern town in the 1950s and 60s, old sayings were a way of communicating. Although, times were hard, people didn't complain. It was a time when people said what they meant and meant what they said. They loved their neighbors. When a neighboring family hurt, all families hurt. When ask how things were going, the answer was always "fair to middling". When they parted ways at the end of the day, it was always "I'll see you tomorrow if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise". The author's grandma was a God-fearing woman who was full of joy. She loved to talk and old sayings were part of her everyday conversations. She had a saying for every situation, for good times and bad times. The "And More" at the end of the book is food for thought. There are fun words and phrases, do's and don'ts, sayings for good luck, sayings for bad luck, superstitions and little words with big meanings. Also, learn how people loved old sayings using body parts. Now, you can join the conversation and have fun! Remember the old saying, "to make an omelet, you'll have to crack some eggs."

Download or read book The Water Lily Pond written by Han Z. Li and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-10-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evocative narrative draws us into the inner life of a young Chinese peasant girl, May-ping, and her first glimmerings of youthful love and idealism under the Maoist regime in China. As she grows into a mature woman, she becomes increasingly aware of the strife around her. An intelligent girl born into a Poor-Class family in a small village in rural China, she is, because of the Maoist policy towards such families, able to pursue her dream of going to university. To her surprise, urban snobbery and “student thought-spying” at university make it essential for her to hide her real thoughts. Such self-protection becomes especially necessary once her idealistic boyfriend Dan — a secret boyfriend because young people were forbidden to be romantically involved — is sent to a labour camp for his outspoken ways. In her village, she learns that everything has value except the lives of girls and women. One of her childhood friends, a landowner’s daughter who because of her family’s Landlord Class, is not allowed to go to university drowns herself when forced to face an arranged marriage. Hua-Hua, a shy and gentle neighbour, hangs herself after her husband beats her brutally for not bearing him a son. May-ping manages to survive the Cultural Revolution as a member of the Communist party who feels outside the system and keeps her inner self intact. Her story reveals how political change during the Maoist regime left its mark on ordinary people. Employing stories within stories, the narrator carries the reader to a mythological realm to images of the resilient water lilies and the nurturing lily pond.

Download or read book Grandma Chronicles written by Delbra Brown and published by D.A. Brown Consulting. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My grandmother IS a force to be reckoned with. I say IS because whether she's here on earth in the flesh, or up in Heaven with God, Jesus, the angels and the other family members that have preceded her in death, she will FOREVER be present and alive through me and her descendants. One day while sitting in church, as the pastor asked us to turn to a scripture in the Bible; I noticed she had a photo of me when I was five (5) years old tucked in between the pages of her Bible. When I asked her to turn back and let me take a look, she just shrugged off my gesture and shushed me so we could hear the pastor's sermon. Over the years, I would wonder I why I could never get away with the things that most people could get away with. Over the years, I realized it was because my grandmother ensured the Lord's hedge of protection was covering me, all the days of my life. This book is dedicated to her and all of the grandmothers, grandma's, nana's, madear, madea's and every other name of love we give them for it is because of their love for us, that many of us stay on the path of righteousness. To my momma. Thank you and I will forever and always love you and even though I never bought you that house I always wanted too, your memory and your wisdom will live on forever. Your last words to me were "I wouldn't trade you for your weight in gold". Thank you for ensuring I KNEW you knew who I was and ensuring your last words to me were the phrases and testimonies of love you had always given me. May this book bring a smile to your face as you reminisce on my grandmother's wisdom, jokes, sayings, remedies, and the other southern colloquiums that have been shared from generation to generation from our grandmothers, grandfathers, and family members over the years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This autobiography is a recount of my personal experiences in life. The book starts with my farming and laborious works during my early childhood age, in which I met extreme challenges. When I was a young man, because the doors to colleges were shut, I became a young farmer working diligently, only failing to achieve my goal of becoming an imperial food eater. China’s Open Door policy made my college dream and studying in the US came true. Achieving master’s and PhD degrees and becoming a US citizen were smooth sailing, but becoming an entrepreneur was challenge. My dream of becoming financially independent was finally realized after fifteen years of hard work. My success as a small-business owner provides me with resources to help others though charity giving and donations. Along my life journey, I got tremendous support and help from my family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The go-to good English guide from the grammar guru himself, Gyles Brandreth . . . __________ Why, like, does everyone keep saying 'like'?

Is it 'referenda' or 'referendums'? FFS, what's happening to our language!? Our language is changing, literacy levels are dwindling and our grasp of grammar is at crisis point, so you wouldn't be alone in thinking WTF! But do not despair, Have You Eaten Grandma? is here: Gyles Brandreth's definitive (and hilarious) guide to punctuation, spelling, and good English for the twenty-first century. Without hesitation or repetition (and just a touch of deviation) Gyles, the Just A Minute regular and self-confessed grammar guru, skewers the linguistic horrors of our time, tells us where we've been going wrong (and why), and reveals his tips and tricks to ensure that, in future, we make fewer (rather than 'less') mistakes.

Download or read book Long Division written by Kiese Laymon and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long Division includes two distinct but tightly interwoven stories--one called "All Things Considered," the other "Long Division." In the first, it's March 2012: 14-year-old Citoyen "City" Coldson and his nemesis, LaVander Peeler, become the first black male duo to win the state of Mississippi's “Can You Use This Word in a Sentence” contest finals. Both boys are asked to represent Mississippi at the televised national competition. (Hours before the contest begins, City is given a book without an author called "Long Division.") Turmoil and misunderstanding ensue, as City and LaVander learn they have reason to doubt the merit of their presence at the contest. “They want us to win,” City says to LaVander moments before the contest starts. After being assigned, and then misusing, the word “niggardly” in the first round of the contest, City has a remarkable on-stage meltdown in front of a national television audience. LaVander, on the other hand, though incredibly shaken, advances to the finals and has the chance to win the contest. The day after the contest, City is sent to spend the weekend with his grandmother in the small coastal community of Melahatchie, which is also the site of the mysterious disappearance of girl named Baize Shephard. Baize Shephard also happens to be one of the main characters in the book "Long Division," which City has been dipping into throughout the story. While in Melahatchie, City's troubled Uncle Relle reveals that City has become an overnight YouTube celebrity thanks to his on-stage meltdown, and that he is being sought to appear on a new television show called "Youtube’s Black Reality All Stars." City is alternately celebrated and ridiculed by the white and black residents of Melahatchie as a result of his performance at the contest, even as he delves deeper into "Long Division" and its story of the missing Baize Shephard. When the neighborhood is convinced that a white man nicknamed Pot-Belly has assaulted Baize and done away with her body, they beat the man to death...or so City thinks, until he finds the man alive, chained up in a workshed in the back yard of his grandmother’s house. City visits the imprisoned white man four times during the course of his weekend--reading to him from "Long Division," asking him questions he's always wanted to ask white people, and promising to save him if he survives his own baptism, which his grandmother has engineered during City's visit. When LaVander appears, he and City must reluctantly work together again, this time to save the life of the white man chained in the workshed--and quite possibly the life of City’s grandmother, too. There's something else that City finds especially interesting about "Long Division," besides the story of Baize: another main character in the book is also named City Coldson--except this City Coldson, who lives in Melahatchie, is 14 in 1985. This City will do anything to make Shalaya Crump love him--including traveling 26 years into the future (via a time portal they find in the woods) to steal a laptop and cellphone from a girl--a mysterious teenaged rapper named Baize Shephard, who lost her parents in Hurricane Katrina. The following day, Shalaya and City meet another worn down time-traveler, this one from 1964, a boy named "Jewish" Evan Altshuler. Evan is desperate to protect his family against the Klu Klux Klan during Freedom Summer. He convinces Shalaya that he can help her find her parents and her future self if she brings the laptop computer back to 1964 and does him a favor. Unexpectedly, City and Shalaya become separated, with Shalaya stuck in 1964 and City stuck in 2012. In their wanderings back and forward through time, much is revealed about City’s relationship with Baize, and about segregation, Freedom Summer, the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Oil spill, and the limits of technology and love. Long Division is a Twain-esque exploration of celebrity, authorship, racialized terror, neo-liberalism, religion, and coming of age in Post-Katrina Mississippi.
